Penrith City Council has paid tribute to the outstanding contributions of individuals and groups across the region through a special recognition ceremony. The event, held recently, aimed to celebrate the positive impact of residents who go above and beyond to make Penrith a better place for everyone.

The awards highlighted a wide range of community efforts from grassroots volunteering and local leadership to creative initiatives that support vulnerable groups and build stronger neighbourhood connections. Each honouree was acknowledged for their commitment, passion, and service to others.

Mayor of Penrith City Council, Councillor Todd Carney, expressed deep appreciation for the award recipients, noting that their actions reflect the heart and spirit of the Penrith community.

“These awards celebrate the incredible spirit and dedication within our community,” said Mayor Carney. “They are role models for us all, showing what it means to care for your neighbours, support local causes, and help build a stronger, more connected community.”

Among those honoured were long-time volunteers who have dedicated years to local charities, youth mentors who guide the next generation, and community organisers who champion inclusiveness and social wellbeing. Their stories are a reminder that positive change often begins with small acts of kindness and a willingness to help others.

Penrith City Council hopes that by spotlighting these achievements, more residents will be inspired to get involved and take pride in their local communities. The council continues to support community development programs and encourages participation in local projects and initiatives.
